I-16 Digital imaging and processing techniques

Instrumentation and Techniques

Image processing techniques play a key factor in our capacity to extract quantitative valuable information from Microscopy images. This is true for all forms and all fields of microscopy, although the particular applications may change from topic to topic. We aim at gathering experts in the field of image processing from all Microscopy disciplines, and we expect to be able to run both focused series of talks on concrete themes as well as a more general round of cross fertilization among disciplines. Applications of Image Processing on both biology and materials science topics are welcome. Four concrete topics to address are: (1) Image processing in Three-dimensional electron microscopy, including tomography, (2) Image processing in correlative microscopy, (3) Image processing and simulations, (4) Image processing for automated microscopy.
